2017 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The 2017 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 25 September 2025 at 52,975 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 23 September 2024 at 49,940 miles, 22 September 2023 at 46,777 miles, and 7 October 2022 at 44,544 miles each passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 7 October 2022 at 44,544 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer shows 52,975 miles against nine years of age, averaging roughly 5,886 miles per year. This is low for a 2017 vehicle. Annual increments stayed consistent: 2,233 miles between October 2022 and September 2023, then 3,163, 3,035, and 3,035 miles across the following three years. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low mileage may reflect prolonged static periods that accelerate rust on sills and subframes. The clean MOT history offers no flag on coil springs or binding calipers, yet these items warrant physical checks given the car's age. Verify the 7 October 2022 failure reason via DVSA portal, as the zero-defect entry prevents definitive assessment of whether a previous owner addressed a minor consumable or paperwork issue before the same-day pass.
